The Indians.

We see from the Teiegraphic' re-
ports that the Utes on the White and
Beaver Rivers, are in arms and l5t
of them are fighting the settlers, des
troying property and setting lire to
the woods aud committing all kinds
of depredations upon the harmless
and inoffensive settlers, this ought
not to be longer tolerated, why treat
the Indians any better than any other
class of enemies, the Indian by nature
is the natural enemy OF the White
man. Yet the government continues
to furnish supplies, blankets and eve
ry thing else tor his comfort and sup
port and actually hires him to behave
himself, but understanding this hu
man treatment on the part of the
Government every year some tribe
or another takes the "war path and
kills hundreds of men, women and
children and destroys hundreds of
thousands dollars Of property.
The policy of the Government may
be right, but We cannot see it. 1t
seems to us the best and wisest policy
to pursue would be to treat them Just
as we would all other murderers and
robbers, hang and shoot them and let
them know that they are not priv
legged class instead Of giving them
bread, meat and blankets, give them
plows, hoes and axes and instead of
giving them large domains of our ter
ritory, let them go to work and buy
the land like the whites have to do.

How Charleston Looks at 1t.

The Charleston NeUs and Courier edi-
torially says of the rumored deal by which
the Richmond and Danville people are sup
posed to get control of the Centrals IS. c.
system: The object of the people of North
western South Carolina in promoting the
building of the roads from McCormick's to
Anderson and from Laurens to Greenville,
as well as for promoting the line from
Greenwood to Spartanburg, was to obtain
better accommodation and better rates
than were given by the Richmond and Dan
vile lines This was their aim throughout,
and it is evident that they will be shorn of
their expectations if the Danville sys-
tenn shall now be able to step into
the shoes of the Georgia Central
With the Northwestern lines under its
control, the Richmond and Danville system
would have undisputed mastery in upper
South Carolina. 1t would be exposed to at
tack by the Cincinnati, Cumberland Gap
and Chicago railway, if that should be built,
and would still have to encounter the
''Three C's." But, for a time at least, it
would be supreme, and its ability to meet
competition and TO suppress it, would be
larger than ever before The object of the
people of upper South Carolina in promot-
ing new railways there, and in making
county and township subscriptions to
aid in their construction, was to improve
their means or communication, and
to insure fair and Just rates for freight
and passengers. 1t needs no argument to
show that the paramount objects of the
popular subscriptions are lost when the
lines pass, by consolidation, or otherwise
into the hands of their former competitors.
For instance, it cannot be supposed for
moment that the Savannah Valley railroad
and the Greenville and Laurens railroad
would have been undertaken by the people.
if it had been supposed that there was a
possibility that the lines, when completed,
would be swallowed up by the Richmond
and Danville system, The absorption of
competing lines, so as toprevent competition
and to Illustrate the purpose of the expendi-
ture of public money, is so plainly contrary
to public policy that it is not unreasonable
to suppose that there must be some provis-
ion in the laws of the State that should pre-
vent it, or will end it. This unquestionably
is worthy of consideration. 1t is useless TO
build now roads at great expense to secure
low rates, if these roads can be disposed of,
so as to nullify competition, by the very
corporation which receives the benefit of
the popular subscriptions which are made
in order that competition should be created
and maintained

fire broke out last night in the stoke
hold Of the steamer Pope Catlin, which was
laying at Dixon & Murphy's coal wharf.
Jesse Lawson, the negro watchman, said
that he was in the little room just forward
of the wheel on the starboard side, and
he sInelt smoke. He opened the door
and started out, but was nearly
suffocated by the volume of
smoke that filed all the lower part of the
boat, and completely enveoped the upper
deck and the pilot house. He made his way
to the deck, however. and cried Fire !"
Some one on shore turned in the alarm, and
the engines responded promptly. 1t was
found that the fire was down below, in the
coal bunkers, and stream was turned
in, and soon the flames were ex-
tinguished. Sergt. Lee. who was in
charge of the police squad, put two men to
guard the bow and stern lines to hold the
boat to the wharf in case the flames should
break out, but the fire depArtment never let
them get out of the hold, The timbers in
the neighborhood of the fire were badly
charred, but the loss will not be heavy, and
it is covered by insurance. The fire is at
tributed TO spontaneous combustion, as it
broke out in the pile of soft coal, and there
has been no fire under the boilers for three
daYs past

THE "BEGGAR STUDENT"
The MacCollin Opera Comique Com
pany Makes a Hit

pdflV Mdh6S a A11Os
The "Beggar Student was sung by the
MacCollin Opera Comique Company before
a brilliant audience last night. 1t was the
first opera of the season and was well sung,
capitally acted and handsomely costumed.
The company is a strong one and was ell
Enthusiastically received. Mr.. Gaiilard sang
the Student admirably. He has fine bari
tone voice and is a good actor. Mr. Bronson
as Janitska was up TO every requirement.
He has a strong tenor voice, and used it TO
the best advantage. His duet i'll the second
act with Miss Hall is one of the gems Of the
opera. Mr. MacCollin as Gen Ollendort
is the comedian, and he furnished no end OF
fun. His topical song Sponge En-
Out" was encored again and again. Miss
Gaillard has deep and rich contralto voice,
and her Countess Palmatican was not only
finely sung, but the part was exceedingly
we'll acted Miss Hall is the soubrette OF the
company, and she sung and acted herself
into favor at once. Her "Oh Me Mamma"
was repeatedly encored.
The entire cast is well madeup. Miss Haas
made all excellent Laura" Miss Nining
was every inch a dude soldier, and Miss
Branson did what she had to do exceedingly
well. The chorus is one of the strong
points of the company. In fact the Beg
gar Student" is seldom sung better than 1t
was last night. Tonight Strauss Merry
War" will be the attraction, and next to
the 'Beggar Student" it is the best in the
company's repertoire.
